What this policy covers
How we approach hosting materials: mission, permitted use, and gratitude toward contributors.
1
Mission & accessibility
Safhah is a platform dedicated to the dissemination of beneficial Islamic knowledge, striving to make valuable, rare, and educational texts accessible to seekers of knowledge across the world. Many of the materials hosted on this platform have been previously circulated across various Islamic forums, websites, and digital archives. Our intention is not ownership, but preservation and accessibility—serving students of knowledge, da‘wah carriers, and all those who seek to learn the religion of Allah.
2
Non-commercial use
This initiative is carried out solely for the sake of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى), and not for any form of commercial gain. The content made available on Safhah is strictly for non-commercial, educational, and da‘wah purposes. Users are permitted to benefit from and share these materials in ways that align with this intention; however, the use of any content for financial or commercial exploitation is strictly prohibited.

Acknowledgment
We acknowledge, with respect and appreciation, the efforts of the authors, researchers, publishers, and webmasters whose works have contributed to this collection. It is our sincere hope that they recognize and support the da‘wah-oriented purpose of this project. By facilitating the spread of authentic Islamic knowledge, we believe that all those involved—directly or indirectly—share in its reward with Allah, by His permission.
Views of authors
It is important to note that the views and opinions expressed within the books hosted on Safhah belong solely to their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the platform itself. In accordance with the established principle that every statement may be accepted or rejected except that of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we disassociate from any content that contradicts the methodology of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamā‘ah. At the same time, we remain grateful for the scholarly contributions that benefit students of the Sharī‘ah sciences.
Supporting print editions
The primary objective behind publishing these materials is to increase accessibility, particularly for individuals who may not have the means to obtain physical copies of these works. Nevertheless, we strongly encourage and emphasize the importance of supporting authors and publishers by purchasing original editions whenever they are available, as printed books remain an invaluable resource for serious students of knowledge.
Copyright & circulation
As a general principle, we strive to be mindful of the rights of authors and publishers. Where possible, we aim to share works that have been in circulation for a considerable period of time, in order to minimize any potential harm to their commercial interests. However, we recognize that copyright statuses may vary, and in some cases may not be entirely clear.
AccessibilityEspecially for those without easy access to print
RespectWe aim to minimize harm to commercial interests
CooperationPrompt review when rights holders reach out
Distribution beyond this platform
Furthermore, in the event that any material is removed from Safhah at the request of a rights holder, we bear no responsibility for the continued distribution of that material on other platforms or websites beyond our control.
